A few days ago I stood on the edge of a mountain contemplating whether or not I should literally jump off the cliff. I found myself looking at the 100ft sheer drop off thanks to 50kings - an events-b...
As most of you know, I’m now settled in San Francisco – actually, that’s the view from my room. Those two spikes? That’s the Golden Gate bridge. The cloudiness reminds me of O...
Tomorrow is going to be one of the happiest days of my life. Peach officially becomes my daughter. Even though nothing will really change in terms of our day-to-day routine, I can’t wait for th...
I decided for Christmas I’d gift myself a juicer – I need to find a new way to add veggies & fruits into my life and figured I’d give this a try. The machine is a Jack LaLanne P...
Even though our early nickname for Jude was Snugglesaurus (thanks in part to a too-cute onesie) he’s been a very independent child since early on. It brings me serious joy to see the tide turni...
Lately adoption has been a hot topic in our house because Peach wants to talk about it all.the.time. In the past few weeks Peach’s ability to connect the dots and see the bigger picture has lef...
Yesterday I found myself at the same hospital where I gave birth to Jude. They made me walk round and round the maternity ward during my four day stay so I couldn’t help but recall those first ...

Today marks the 6-year anniversary since my dad died. I had just turned 22 and was a semester away from graduating college. I still miss him and think about him all the time but over the years I̵...

I started a life list back in college that somehow I’ve held on to all these years – it had about 40 items on it when I stopped adding things to it, and when I found out I was going to th...
I got the best birthday present last year on my 27th birthday – that was the day we got the call from our social worker that we’d been matched with Peach. I’ll forever remember that...
